I believe:
that the progress that blacks made before the civil rights movement is attributable to our desire to improve our lives ourself and not rely on others. we did not do it because we were backed by the republicans (party of lincoln) or the democrats. we backed ourselves.
People have choices in their life. They may not be the most ideal choices, but one would hope the person would select the best option of the choices available. With that said believe it or not but we DO have control over how we live our lives, who we marry etc. Believe me you have choices and will be judged by God for those choices. A person will not be able to offer the excuse at the pearly gates that they had not control, didn't know anything about it or it was someone else's fault.
Finally, with the upcoming holiday season, i believe that it should be against the law to make and distribute fruit cake
